Orange County Red Light Camera Challenge Update

Previously this site published information about the Facella v. Orange County red light camera appeal.

That is the case where Mr. Facella, an unrepresented defendant accused of running a red light by three-tenths of a second, was prohibited from arguing that Orange County’s red light camera program is invalid at his administrative hearing.

Channel 9 published a piece about it this summer: http://u…

Orange County Red Light Camera Challenge: Appellant argues his due process rights were violated at the administrative hearing.

A new red light camera challenge has been filed in the Ninth Circuit in Orange County, Florida: Stephen Facella v. Orange County.

Reflections and Yogic Perspective on the Orlando Attack #onePulse #Orlando #OrlandoUnited

Following the terror attack in downtown Orlando, the nation – and the world – felt horror and disbelief. The attack happened 2.5 miles from my house, at a place where I have been before. Talk about surreal.

Why #yoga is not about silencing your mind. (Ok, so you were wrong about this one. No big whoop.) #ashtangayoga

“Yoga is about silencing the mind.”

Right? Aren’t we trying to quiet our minds, to find the gap between our thoughts, to shut off our brains?

Isn’t that what all those fucking yogi masters have been preaching to us for thousands of years?

I recently read a great articlethat started with this proposition – that the mind must be silenced – in the context of seeing how our minds trick us when it…
